The Whispering Cairn (Team Diamond Lake) - IC

[s@squ@tch]

Zeke looks on with his sunrod in his hand, watching the others labors to see if they bear fruit.

 

[HolyMan]

Jiles and Vixtrin watch as Aria curiously studies the lantern. Jiles mentions that there is no traps present he can see and Aria reaches for the everburning torch inside.

Meanwhile Eldariel seems confident he can move the arrow shaped platform will Galyne and Zeke keep look out.

The elf moves the arrow which stops pointing at the next alcove (yellow) with an audible click. Aria holds the torch in hand and the green light throughout the room vanishes as it is no longer reflected from the domed roof. Two pools of torchlight are all that illuminate the large chamber now.

And from the now darkened yellow alcove comes a grinding and hissing noise. The sound of air finally escaping from a trapped room echoes throughout the hall before everything is silent once again.

"What was that?" Aria whispers in the quiet following the rumble. She looks around at the others, their faces made eerie in the torchlight, then moves towards the yellow alcove, holding the torch warily in front of her to light it up.

 

[s@squ@tch]

"Wow, that was COOL!" Zeke says, completely taken aback by the spectacle.

Yes, it was true, Zeke has led a fairly sheltered life in the church.

Torn between her fear and curiosity, Vixtrin hesitates then follows after Aria toward the darkened yellow alcove. "Is anything open down that way?" Curiosity at last getting the better of her, Vixtrin moves as far forward as safety will allow.

OOC: Double move 60' into the yellow alcove, unless attacked. If attacked, move up to 30' toward attacker and spiked chain.

 

[HolyMan]

Jiles stands in the green lantern alcove while Vixtrin and Aria move to the yellow. Eldariel, Zeke, and Galyn watch from the center of the room as the two girls near the area and the everburning torch Aira acquired lights the alcove.

The chain holding the yellow lantern has been cast aside by a large stone tube that looks to have risen out of the floor. It stands perfectly still while little blasts of air near the base blow from cracks in the floor, stirring up dust.

The tube is hollowed out leaving a space for what looks like one person to stand in. Two more Auran glyph's are carved on the inside of the tube, spaced about two feet apart and at chest height.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Vixtrin, half-hoping she does but worried all the same about the prospect, points at the tube and whispers to Aria. "You're not going to go in there, are you?"

OOC: When you say, "It stands perfectly still while little blasts of air near the base blow from cracks in the floor," what do you mean by "it"? The tube or the chain?

 

[s@squ@tch]

Zeke goes over to the tube.

"Didn't you read some of these glyphs earlier?"

"Any idea what they mean?"
He looks at the tube to make sure that there are no pieces missing.

 

[HolyMan]

OOC: It being the tube. Trying to give the impression it was lifted by air and is being kept there by the same.

Zeke looks all about the tube and sees nothing out of the ordinary it is in good shape.
